Bored of the same old weekend routine of movies, dinner and drinks, and are looking for something different? Well, look no further as asklaila gives you the low-down of some of Chennai's auditoriums where many a play and concert takes place in this culturally-rich hub.

The Music Academy (TTK Road) is one such place you can visit to hear the latest gigs in the city from up-and-coming talents. The Academy is home to plays and concerts, besides the popular December music festival where performances by leading bands and artists from across the country are invited to perform here!

The Museum Theatre at the Government Museum (Egmore) is another popular joint for plays and shows by rookies and professionals alike. A cozy little theater with amazing acoustics resonates from the stage right down the last seats in the hall.

If you are a student, you get a discount on your tickets, so keep your id cards ready. Yet another place that is a must-visit is the Sir Muthu Venkatasubba Rao Concert Hall (Harrington Road), a new swanky theater with a luxurious feel, this place is fast becoming popular.

For those who are spiritually inclined, discourses and light music shows are predominantly held at Kamaraj Hall (Teynampet). This hall can hold nearly 1,500 people, and has been home for some of the famous conferences and shows in the past. Just a short distance away is the Chinmaya Heritage Centre which is equally popular. Classes, too, are periodically conducted here.
